    The Police Union says judges let too many high-level drug offenders off easy

    The Police Union says judges let too many high-level drug offenders off easy


    A meth bust in Hawk's Bay and Gisborne in 2021 ended with 15 arrested - but only five went to jail.

    Police Association president Chris Cahill says the problem is sentence discounts.

    He says one person with a 12 year sentence for importing 4 kilos of meth - had it reduced to 12 months home detention.
